This document discusses carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies. It provides an overview of CCUS, the current global status, and why CCUS is seen as vital for meeting greenhouse gas reduction goals. It also summarizes the technology assessment, policy and market assessment, and understanding and acceptance assessment sections regarding CCUS deployment opportunities and challenges.

2. What is CCS/CCUS?
• Separating CO2 from power plant or industrial
emissions
• Compressing and transporting CO2 as a dense
(supercritical phase) fluid to a storage or
utilization site
• Storing CO2 underground in rock formations
• Utilizing CO2 in processes that provide long-term
storage (EOR, building materials)
SUPPORTED BY:
3. Global Status of CCS/CCUS
• CCS-CCUS must be part of the technology mix
used to reach 2050 GHG reduction goals
• Progress to date is steadily increasing globally, but
not fast enough
• Like other large infrastructure projects, CCS-CCUS
involves technological, societal, and political
components
• Knowledge sharing will be vital to increase the
pace

13. TECHNOLOGY
SUPPORTED BY:
ASSESSMENT
Individual components are well understood and many are technically mature.
Safe storage demonstrated by projects for over a decade and by EOR for 40 years.
Pilot and larger scale test facilities contribute to integrated systems confidence.
OPPORTUNITIES
Improvements in deployment of capture systems
Novel capture methods—membranes, chilled ammonia,
Operations parameter optimization
New build/retrofits—pre-, post-, and oxy-combustion
Reducing uncertainty in subsurface storage
Remediation and mitigation of leakage risk
Confidence of storage permanence in saline formations and EOR
Energy infrastructure analysis to optimize policy and public/private investment
CCUS among other methods of GHG reduction to assure energy sustainability and reliability
Optimization of pipeline networks to connect capture and storage sites
Enabling renewables through flexible/rampable fossil power with CCUS
Knowledge sharing increases pace from first-in-kind to Nth
14. POLICY AND MARKETS
ASSESSMENT
International policy discussions consistently acknowledge importance of CCUS
National climate and energy policies often do not provide long term clarity to support a
business case.
CCUS is often not treated equivalently to other low carbon technologies.
Existing CCUS funding programs for technology R&D mostly exhausted in the U.S.,
Canada and Europe.
OPPORTUNITIES
Enable CCUS explicitly as a GHG reduction technology in climate policy
Re-assess existing policy and regulatory effects on the business case
Include CCUS in clean energy and low-carbon roadmaps and investment mechanisms.
Increase pace of capacity development through international knowledge-sharing
dialogues
Knowledge sharing increases pace from first-in-kind to Nth
SUPPORTED BY:
15. UNDERSTANDING AND ACCEPTANCE
ASSESSMENT
Global awareness and understanding of CCS/CCUS is low.
Perception as experimental
Associated with fossil fuel instead of low-carbon energy.
Importance of fossil fuel infrastructure to energy reliability is not recognized
Building stakeholder relationships is critical to project success.
Local focus on risks and economic benefits
Regional, national, and international recognition but poor understanding
OPPORTUNITIES
Increase understanding and acceptance through “advertising” successful projects
Establish best practices to assure a safe CCUS industry
Encourage public advocacy of CCUS.
Improve access to education materials and experts.
Knowledge sharing increases pace from first-in-kind to Nth

There are 22 projects in operation or under construction, with 34 projects in development
2/3 of the 22 active projects are in North America .
The US has 9 projects and Canada has 5- I will talk a bit more about this later.
Those 22 projects = 40 MM tonnes/yr CO2 removal, which is equivalent to eliminating emissions from 8 million cars.
Most of these CCS projects are in industrial processes where separating CO2 out is inherent to the process
There are no CCS-power plants operating yet - 2 scheduled to come on line 2014- BD and Kemper – which I will talk about a little bit later on

US has projects moving into operation
Canada has a strong position of projects in execution, coming on stream in 2014-16
China has progressed projects with at least 2 being in a position to consider a FID in 2014
The UK, even though project progress has not been as fast as first envisaged, maintains a healthy project balance
Mainland Europe has seen a sharp reduction in projects – a key impact has been the sharp fall in the carbon price since EEPR projects announced. ROAD is the most advanced project in Europe and is seeking options to reduce the ‘financial gap’
It is important to Note that most of the operational projects are CO2-EOR and for processes where CO2 separation is part of the production process or in processes resulting in high concentrations for capture.
I really like this slide as it shows the amount of CO2 the project will capture, what type of project it is and when it should be online.
Projects in construction include Quest (Canada), Boundary Dam (Canada), Petra Nova (US), Kemper County (US), Illinois Industrial CCS (US), Emirates Steel Industries (Abu Dhabi), Gorgon (Australia) and Uthmaniyah (Saudi Arabia)
Projects that could take FID during 2014 include The Texxas Clean Energy project- which Saha here will talk to us in detail about tomorrow,
Lake Charles and Sargas Texas Point Comfort (US), Yanchang and Sinopec Qilu (China) and ROAD (Holland)

Strong support from federal and provincial governments
CSLF Communique is dated 7 November 2013, Ministerial was held in Washington DC.
CCS is NOT an unproven or experimental technology – as many opponents assert
Has a long history in certain applications – have 9 operational projects (though mainly in gas processing)
Plus we have learnt a lot from R&D and pilot test plants across the globe over the last decade
Critical that a successful global CCS demonstration effort is undertaken in new applications (e.g. power) to solidify CCS as an environmentally friendly technology – cornerstone to deployment of CCS longer term
And need to make sure storage sites are available – new sites can take 10 years or more to mature.
CCS is acknowledged as important in international discussions
But policy initiatives have not supported the scale of projects needed for CCS to play its part in climate change mitigation
Must work on three key areas
Strong commitments to action on climate change and market based mechanisms to attract private financing – incentivize longer term deployment . (Post Kyoto 2020 agreement is critical.)
Boost short–term financial support – incentivize the immediate demonstration effort
Remove remaining key regulatory impediments (e.g. post closure issues)
It is important the CCS is not disadvantaged compared to other low-carbon technologies
The Institute works globally on capacity development, working together with the World Bank, APEC, the ADB & CLSF.
But we also have our own dedicated capacity development programmes, and for example, here in the Americas region we are working with stakeholders in Mexico, Trinidad & Tobago, Brazil & Venezuela.
Public attitudes towards CCS are an important factor
Research shows varying degrees of understanding and acceptance of CCS by the public across countries – generally low (few exceptions, e.g. Alberta, Canada)
Some projects have faced strong public opposition – often (but not always) linked to onshore storage
Projects have improved efforts at public engagement, there are more support materials and best practice knowledge sharing is occurring
Broader communication on benefits of CCS in moving to a low-carbon economy is needed – role for all of us, important advocacy activity for the Institute.
